    WAY over the line. You better hope that your perfect world never falters...or if it does that others are more forgiving and less judgemental than you.

      Wow you're taking this way too far. If you don't like him that's your decision and don't feel so big about everything you say because it's all your opinion and you talk about wanting to talk **** in person when you're the one hiding on here and talking all the **** about somebody you don't know in the first place.

        Does he owe an apology to his teammates or do his teammates owe an apology to him. I would be willing to wager he was with other players at some point during the night and was not the only player drinking. The team got back late and are suppose to be a pretty close group. And as long as I'm betting I would also bet this is going on at most every school in the conference, or for that matter the NCAA. If you don't think this is happening at every school in the country, your not facing reality. We've all been there, we know what is going on, that is not saying that all college students drink but if you aren't you're in the minority.

        I am not saying what Jordan did was OK I'm just saying he is the one that got caught, this time. If you want to suspend every athlete that is drinking, I think you can pretty much say good bye to collegiate sports as we know it.


        I think it is naive to think that student athletes don't drink but I also don't think it is too much to ask that they don't get in a car and drive when they are doing it.

          That's fine. The day that I put other peoples' lives in danger is the day you're welcome to say the same about me. There are a couple of people on here who know who I am and can vouch for the fact that my fiance's father was killed in a drunk driving accident, so I have pretty strong feelings about this. Feel free to disagree, but he is an immature scumbag.

            You have my sympathy for your fiancee's father but Jordan isn't the person who did it. I'm done for the night, you win.

              As for not embarrassing the Univerisity.... Well here is some more great coverage from ESPN. For years we have tried to be known as something other than NIU and now we get this on the front page of NCAA Men's Basketball on ESPN..

                No, but some derelict who thought he was "fine to drive" did. Which I'm sure is the same thing Jordan was telling himself.

                  P.S.

                  Don't write that you don't care what we think of your post and then further embarrass yourself by crying when we respond.

                    You put someone's life in danger anytime you go 30 in a 25, too. I hope you don't do that...ever. JE didn't make a good decision to drive after drinking. It does NOT make him a "scumbag" or a "loser" no matter what you say. It makes him a person who made a very poor decision that I hope he learns from and moves on from to be productive in his life...maybe even work to keep others from making the same mistake. I'm sorry that someone close to you was killed by a drunk driver but I don't think you are being productive by banishing from society anyone who has made this mistake or similar in their lives.

                        I'm not "banishing him from society." I'm saying I have zero respect for him. I'd rather see our program give up wins than send the message that it's okay to go out and get drunk and drive and all we'll do is keep you out of 120 minutes of game time. And you're really going to compare speeding to driving drunk?

                          For the record PantherN8 I don't care but I'm having fun getting everyone else stirred up because you all think you're so smart with your little comments and thoughts of other people. I know people don't give a **** what I have to say and I don't care that's why i usually stay quiet. I put that earlier because I knew you would keep writing and fighting with me becasue you actually think people give a sh*t about your opinions. Oh and you don't like my profanity then you're an idiot because it is used by almost everyone, everyday in society and is a way in getting the point across!

                              Cosign, I am frustrated over JE's decision but it is too early to throw the book at him.

                              If he goes to High Schools and talks to kids, he could end up saving lives in the long run.

                              He made a horrible mistake and I think it was very selfish. However, he is very young and has a chance to learn from this. Lets just hope he does.

                              Hopefully JE speaks out to younger kids and lives are saved. JE isn't a bad kid, just a selfish one. Hopefully this was a wake up call..
